What is 3 4/6 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 3 4/6 as a decimal is

3.6

≈ 3.67 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: 4/6 = 2/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever

Whole part 3 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

remainder	×10	= digit × 6 + new remainder	digit
4	40	6 × 6 + 4	6

Remainder 4 is back after the 1st division → the digit 6 repeats forever: 0.6.

3 + 0.6 = 3.6

Fraction 3 4/6 as a decimal is 3.(6)

To convert 3 4/6 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator, 4 ÷ 6 = 0.(6), then add the whole part: 3 + 0.(6) = 3.(6).

In lowest terms its denominator 3 has the prime factor 3, so the division never ends: a remainder comes back and the same digits repeat forever.

Multiply by 100: 3 4/6 ≈ 366.67%.
